摘要：After a strong performance in the first half of 2010, real GDP growth in both the EU and the euro area slowed down in the second half of last year. The deceleration was expected and in line with a soft patch in global growth and trade, which reflected the withdrawal of stimulus measures and the fading of positive impulses from the inventory cycle. Within an uncertain and risky business environment and global competition, firms have to manage not only their internal operations but also all the processes and relationships within their value chains. The purpose of this study is to provide insights for the Eurozone crises, particularly the Europe and emergingmarket economies.
